Christmas-Morning Italian Strata

Donna Scofield has been making this strata for her family for the past 15 Christmases. She loves it because she can prepare it the night before and then bake it while everyone opens presents on Christmas morning. By the time the last gift is unwrapped, breakfast is ready and waiting!
